Actually what you say makes no sense to me because my monitor is already at bare minimum. Its not the intensity, its the contrast. The problem obviously is not an exposure of 30 minutes. The mail I am writing now has a white background. But its not a problem because I spent an 1 hour tops with email total time. I would like if Gmail had a dark theme but its no big deal. However when one spent more than 8 hours it becomes a problem.
It was the same when I was studying in UK law. I was very used into reading english because the vast majority of the coding books I had bought and reading since I was 13 years old were in english. It was not a problem reading for an hour, but after 5 hours both my eyes and brain were tired. Its that extra effort that accumulates hour by hour and the more time you spent, the more obvious it becomes. 5 hours reading a book in my mother tongue is like night and day. So when I was spending a lot of hours working with Pharo the white them did became a major problem for me. Its not as if I see a light theme and after a few minutes I scream in pain "Oh my eyes are burning" :D On Mon, Aug 28, 2017 at 9:55 PM Peter Uhnák <i.uh...@gmail.com> wrote: > Or you people can just dim your screen instead of staring into a 60W > lightbulb... then the theme doesn't matter. > > On Mon, Aug 28, 2017 at 8:38 PM, Alexandre Bergel <alexandre.ber...@me.com > > wrote: > >> Ups… I think this FIT file format is for something else… >> >> Alexandre >> -- >> _,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;: >> Alexandre Bergel http://www.bergel.eu >> ^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;. >> >> >> >> On Aug 28, 2017, at 3:36 PM, Alexandre Bergel <alexandre.ber...@me.com> >> wrote: >> >> Hi Phil, >> >> Yes, I wrote a FIT file parser.
